I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 11-Nov-2017, with the surrender reason stated as animal behaviour – aggressive towards people.

Bardock is at risk due to behavior, New Hope Only determination. He should go to an adult only home due to previous bite history and behavior towards strangers, growling and lunging. There are no medical concerns for Bardock at this time.

Hx: Diagnosed with CIRDC 7 days ago. S/O: Today, pt is energetic in the kennel, barking and running back and forth. No coughing, sneezing or nasal discharge are noted. A: CIRDC appears resolved P: Move out of isolation! 1088

Details on my behavior are…

Upon intake Bardock did not allow much handling. He was fearful and attempting to hide so no further handling was performed.

IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: Bardock has displayed distance increasing behaviors while in his kennel (growling, backing away) and displacement grunts, huffs, and shake-offs while outside his kennel. He has yet to warm up to handlers to allow touch. However, he has become more comfortable engaging with handlers through the kennel doors by coming up to the door, accepting enrichment and treats, but continues to be aloof when interacting.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: NEW HOPE ONLY

Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner

Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to Bardock’s bite history, as well as his owner reported that he barks, growls, and snaps at new, people, we recommend an adult only home. Place with a New Hope partner: Due to the severity of Bardock’s bite to his previous owner, as well as distance increasing behavior displayed at the care center, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.

Potential challenges comments:: Resource guarding: Bardock severly bit his previous owner when he attempted to move him off the bed. We recommend training an “off” cue with treat rewards to manage this behavior, should it appear in a future home. Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Bardock is reported to bark, growl, and snap at new people. At the care center, he has also displayed fearful behavior. Guidance from a professional trainer/behaviorist is recommended to assess behavior after decompression in a new home environment. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing or exposing Bardock to new and unfamiliar situations.

a little love, and someone to trust It..It seems something happen to him in the past.. .. loud noices seems to set Badock off, and I’m pretty sure being at the ACC does not help, with the kaos, loud noices of barking dogs..He needs training, not a death sentence,, This adorable little guy needs another chance .. ..Someone come to Bardocks rescue, and save his life. . ,

Bardock desperately needs a hero! He’s a super cute youngster that needs someone to love, care and guide him into the good dog he is on the inside! The shelter environment is too loud, cold and scary for this fella! Let’s get this sweet boy safe. Praying and sharing with lots of love and hope! #SaveBardock 🐾💛🙏🏻
And seriously, Bardock and Rambo mentioned in notes! They can’t even get the right name and we should believe these assessments….sick joke! 😡

Who knows!! They do it all the time. They mess up owner surrender and stray, different names, she/he, they can’t spell or write complete sentences; yet, this is who we’re are suppose to trust to make educated, accurate assessments. Shocking….

Why does the blame always land on the people who are really working under the not best of conditions. Yes this dog has a history and yes the staff and volunteers are doing the best they can, so dont assume anything until you walk in their shoes. I volunteer somethings are not the way they should be and many things are good, why do people put the blame on people who are doing the best they can, I am a retired teacher and work as a volunteer, things can get hectic and most try the best they can. Anyone who criticizes should go and walk in the shoes, our heart breaks everyday and the majority really, really care

I don’t consider doing the “best” to submit notes of TWO dogs for the. ONE dog being advertised on death row. I would expect this from elementary children but I assume adults who should know better are posting these notes.

Vanessalovesdogs – I need to understand what you wrote. Volunteers cannot say anything against ACC? Is ACC monitoring social media, this website, etc.? Are you saying that long time volunteers were asked to leave if they said something negative?

Amy Capshaw what she means is the everyone who works there or volunteers there has to sign a confidentiality agreement that they cannot say anything about the conditions or the treatments. The only thing we the public see are the pictures and videos they get to take on walks or in the play yard. That is it. Employees will be fired if they talk about the conditions and volunteers will no longer be if they talk.

No one here would ever blame the Volunteers for the messed up notes.. We know the notes come from ACC..And who ever writes that information is getting paid to get those notes right, and could mean the life and death of a dog with messed up notes, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it has…That is why we get so mad..We thank you Ethel for the volunteer work you do…

Amy .. I understand your anger, but think about it..If the Volunteers stir the pot, ACC would get rid of them, and we would have nobody advocating for the dogs..I searched far and wide for some kind of dirt on ACC through a disgruntal employee, and I can’t find a thing..I finally figured it out that ACC must make them sign something holding the employee liable if they expose any information on that filthy disgusting crap hole, or take any pictures and videos….You know, and, I know and, everyone here knows here there are unspeakable things going on at that place..From what I did manage to find out..It’s management that employees complain about a lot , but no other information is given..I have seen complaints on workers picking on other workers to the point they have to move to another ACC building. and the trouble follows them there also…So you got a bunch of unruley thugs working there..not good for the animals.. . .. , … ,

Janet I’m not mad or angry at the volunteers. Not at all. I just asked if maybe they could share some insight but if they sign a confidentiality agreement, I would never ask or expect them to violate it. I only wanted a better understanding before making any further comments. The volunteers are a blessing and give these dogs love and attention and caring, probably for some it is the first time ever. I appreciate the explanations from everyone.

Theresa I, thank you… that was it what I wanted to say. Some months ago a volunteer, who didn´t shut his mouth, was fired. They said he tried too much to save the dogs. The dogs lost a voice as he was fired…. so sad.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Bardock, you will need to submit applications to several New Hope rescues, the rescues approved to pull from here, if you are local to NY tristate, New England, PA, parts of VA.

Bardock needs a beautiful owner to rescue HI. Rambo??? Not so much. If they get these details wrong what other info is inaccurate. This boy is adorable and his owner might have done something to him for him to bite. There’s always a reason. Fear is the usual.culprit but you need a rescue to save this boy x
Please opwn.your heart and home for om x💞🐕🤞

I am already deeplying attached to him. He reminds me of one rescue I had who for the first two months we had him needed pills. My fingers sufferedo badly during those 2 months, but he became my best friend. I would love to adopt him, but bring so far away, and Canadian, I know I cannot. But I pleaded with someone to rescue him. If it comes to his having to be euthanized, I would fly many miles and battle any paperwork to rescue him. Please help him. He deserves a chance with a knowledgeable home!

Seems like I’m always at the wrong place at the wrong time all I know and I will not mention her name said I believe last night he is gone and then down below stated you murdered blah blah blah blah blah and I came back with a few comments stating I can’t believe it he was so cute but then they deleted her comments and left mine up so let’s just pray that he is still alive because I have seen this happen before someone will say he’s gone and next morning the dog is safe or back in super urgent

This is only my opinion but I think two people out there if not more wanted him but he had to be pulled by rescue and I bet the rescues all said no they would not pull because of his behavior but he was just scared to death so scared I think he would’ve been fine once in a home with a kind loving person

If burdock is deceased I bet any amount of money he was killed Friday at 12 noon not even given an extra hour I don’t understand the shelter why they don’t post stuff like this and laypeople just hanging and hoping and praying that a miracle will happen

You do realize that the shelter has nothing to do with this site, right? Urgent updates threads when they’re 100% certain of the dog’s outcome. Even if it’s adopted, or rescued, they don’t update until they know it has left the building. They always used to say that nobody should update threads, except for them, because too many times others have been wrong and it’s cost an animal its life.

I cannot believe you kill this two year old boy what’s a little bit of training and work it would have been okay there are people that can handle dogs like him not everybody is scared what was the rush to kill him.. my 15 year old dog still bites me from the day he was born till now but I would never do that to him and look I’m okay 15 years there’s ways around it.. I’m in total shock that rescue didn’t I’ll pull him out and perhaps get him a trainer there so many trainers out there.. killing should never be an option when there’s so many resources out there to save a life

BARDOCK you were a Light Being in an Animal body. Your light was too bright for such a
dark place. This NEVER should have happened to you. Burn bright with the light of a million Stars. You are loved. Be blessed.

RIP SWEET BARDOCK. YOU WERE SUCH A GOOD DOG WITH BAD GUARDIANS. GET THE FEELING YOU WERE NUDGED IN YOUR SLEEP — WHICH IS SOMETHING MY FAMILY TAUGHT ME NEVER TO DO–DO NOT BOTHER A SLEEPING DOG. PLUS HOW WERE YOU REALLY TREATED.
AS FOR NYCACC– IT’S MANAGEMENT’S DECISION WHO TO KILL. PEOPLE ON THE UPPER, WAY UP, PAY LEVEL –THEY ARE TO BLAME FOR LACK OF COMPASSION.

I SWEAR I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS GOING TO SAVE HIM – IF I WOULDVE KNOWN I WOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM – OMG THIS HURTS SO BAD, MY HEART HURTS LIKE YOU WONT BELIEVE.
I AM SHOCKED THAT THEY DID THIS AND I PROMISE I THOUGHT SOMEONE WOULD COME FOR YOU.
I AM SO DEPRESSED, SO HURT, SO SAD, BEYOND UPSET. OMG I WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU I AM SO SO SO SORRY
